Short-eared Owls hunt grasslands for small
mammals. This owl patrols the area searching for prey. It
dives into the grass and appears to miss the prey, as it resumes its
search. The light, which is low in the west as sunset approaches,
bathes the grasses, and occasionally the owl, in a golden glow. The
video ends with a slow motion repeat as the owl approaches the
viewer.
